This shit fuels my soul.
Quote:
Tam T. (GM): Jez finds herself in a field of flowers.
She doesn't know how she got here after falling off Cianwood cliff, but hey, she's alive!
Jezebel: Jez looks around. "Huh... where is everyone?"
Tam T. (GM): Yay! Flowers!
Maybe your friends are picking flowers somewhere else!
you see a BIG CACTUS
giving a BIG HUG to your BEST FRIENDS
THEY'RE BLEEDING OUT
Jezebel: Jez starts freaking out. "Guys, wait, don't hug that!"
Tam T. (GM): Jez can maybe help them? Because FRIENDS?
???
Jezebel: Jez runs up to the CACTUS, but is intimidated by its size.
Tam T. (GM): It seems her BEST PARENTS are ALSO HUGGING the BIG CACTUS.
THEY SEEM TO HAVE BEEN HUGGING FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.
Jezebel: "Mom... dad...?" She starts tearing up at the sight of them again.
Tam T. (GM): some other potential friends are beginning to approach from the distance.
also the flowers are wilting away.
and the soil is whipping around into sand.
Jez now is SURROUNDED by FRIENDS (Maractus).
but they seem kinda POINTY.
Jezebel: NOT FRIENDS. NOT FRIENDS.
Tam T. (GM): and one of them doesn't seem QUITE SO FRIENDLY.
they don't like how INHOSPITABLE Jez is being.
and decide to... FRIENDSHIP TOTEM?
NOW THEY'RE LIKE 3 TIMES AS POWERFUL.
AND THE SKY TURNS DARK.
AND LIKE, LIGHTNINGY.
Tam T. (GM): Also their eyes turn red and the friendship totem BEGINS TO BLEED>
Jezebel: Jez tries to kick the bottom one out.
Tam T. (GM): Jez's foot is embedded in the cactus.
the thorns stick out of her shoe through her foot.
blood is seeping out.
She's still stuck to it.
The Maractus friendship totem swipes at Jez.
the thorns catch in her side and rip her foot free! Yay!
Tam T. (GM): but now she's got needles in her side! Not yay!
Jezebel: Jez tries to pull herself free. No hugs, please!

Tam T. (GM): Jez hugs the Cactus to try to get free. Hugs always help!
EXCEPT HER FACE IS NOW STUCK IN THE NEEDLES.
SHE'S TRAPPED.
Jezebel: "Okay... okay guys, we can be friends, but from a distance, please!"
Roll for convincing

Tam T. (GM): The friendship totem realizes you are probably concerned about giving them COOTIES.
and decide to peel you off and put you down carefully.
you're a bit more torn up because of the "carefully" with "thorny hands" part.
They're still not friends with you though.
Jez is in a lot of pain.
and her friends aren't being hugged THE RIGHT WAY.
Jezebel: Jez tries to ignore the pain, but it's a bit hard to ignore your entire body bleeding.
Still, she gives a thumbs up to the friendship totem.
Tam T. (GM): The friendship totem looks at you quizzically.
and begins to CHEER!
it's doing a rain dance!
Jez feels the rain falling.
It's falling a bit hard.
And she doesn't have an umbrella.
Tam T. (GM): AND IT'S NEEDLES!
Jezebel: She takes cover under the big cactus. Carefully.
Tam T. (GM): Jez is safe!
but her FRIENDS aren't.
Also the friendship totem doesn't appreciate your hate of their REFRESHING GIFT.
it begins to DANCE around AGAIN.
This is MAYBE NOT IDEAL.
MAYBE
Jezebel: Jez, from under the cactus, tries to dance with them.
Tam T. (GM): You successfully dance.
They dance harder. They don't appreciate CULTURAL APPROPRIATION.
Jezebel: "Oh god, I'm going to die here."
"Dying the same way my parents did!"
Tam T. (GM): The Maractus enjoy your pain and use it to FRIENDSHIP TOTEM BETTER.
There's a new friend!
The contract is SEALED!
Jezebel: Jez starts to panic, and runs out to try to pull her friends out.
Tam T. (GM): Jez isn't STRONG ENOUGH to pull her friends off at the same time.
She would be OVERENCUMBERED.
OVER... CUCUMBERED?
Cucumber salad sounds REALLY GOOD right now...
Jezebel: She tries to cut the cactus in half with her hand, somehow.

Tam T. (GM): She FRIENDSHIP SLASHES THE CACTUS.
AND IT'S DOWN.
NOW SHE CAN DRAG IT.
Jezebel: She thinks real quick, and impales her arm into the cactus so she can try to drag it.

Tam T. (GM): Jez misses and doesn't impale her hand!
Now she's MAD that it didn't work!
The Friendship totem is continuing to dance into a frenzy.
Jezebel: Jez, annoyed at her life, tries to pick up the cactus and smash it into the totem instead.
Tam T. (GM): Jez slams the CACTUS into the FRIENDSHIP TOTEM.
sending them into the SUN!
Suddenly the SUN grows a FACE!
and NEEDLES
it begins to shoot out GIANT NEEDLES at Jez.
they're as big as TREES!]
Tam T. (GM): The sun begins to dance in the sky!
What will Jez do?
Jezebel: She stares down one of the needles, and lines up to whack the needle back at the sun with the cactus.

Tam T. (GM): The needle flies straight at Jez.
but she's ready for it.
and punches it.
right on the tip.
the punch creates a SONIC BOOM
and creates a VACUUM PRESSURE EFFECT.
AND BECAUSE SHE DID A HALF-PRESSED A AT THE RIGHT TIME, THE INFINITE TIMELINES OF THIS DREAM COMBINE INTO ONE.
INTO THIS MOMENT.
THE NEEDLE FLIES BACK INTO THE SKY.
TO THE FRIENDSHIP SUN TOTEM OMEGA GAMMA ALPHA PHI SORORITY.
The NEEDLE PIERCES THE SHELL OF FRIENDSHIP
AND THE SUN OF FRIENDSHIP BURSTS.
Tam T. (GM): KILLING MILLIONS.
countless needles rain down all around Jez.
but none touch her or her FRIENDS.
except wait, where are her friends?
The dream POPS
and Jez realizes she's awake from the nightmare.
Jezebel: Jez feels pretty good about herself right about now.
but her FRIENDS must be in danger in these dreams too.
